Luzern form and stats

With 5 wins, 1 draw and 10 defeats from their home games, Luzern, who have the most conceded goals (32) at home in Super League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

In their previous game, the manager T. Häberli led his Luzern to a defeat in the Super League match away at Lugano. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at swissporarena. Before that, Luzern had a home game versus Thun which ended with a victory 3-1.

Luzern are traveling soon after this match as the Super League match at Basel awaits in three days.

Luzern are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 22 goals in 16 matches. Luzern have conceded 32 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Grasshopper form and stats

Grasshopper, who have the fewest points (9) away in Super League, have only collected 9 points from their away games after 1-6-8 (15 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Grasshopper, who have now gone 16 games without a victory. The St. Gallen game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. It's been quite a sequence of draws for Grasshopper when traveling as their last four away games have all ended all square. Not since the Zürich match has the points been distributed unevenly.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Super League home defeat versus St. Gallen with 0-1 on the scoreboard. A 1-1 draw at Neuchâtel Xamax's stadium before that.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Grasshopper manager U. Forte as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Young Boys.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Grasshopper as they have only managed to score 12 times from 15 away games. Grasshopper have conceded 25 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The teams have played each other before this season, with the result Grasshopper - Luzern 1-3 entered in the official records. Luzern-Grasshopper H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Luzern 4 wins, Grasshopper 2 wins, 4 draws.
